EXERCISING DEVICE.

Application filed March 24, 1919.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I AN'roNn lVLi'rYsnK, acitizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State ofMaryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inExercising Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in 1g. 4 is an end View of one ofthe weights.

Fig. 5 is an end view showing both weights at one end of the bar.

Referring to the accompanying drawings,

forming part of this specification, and in which like reference numeralsdesignate like parts throughout the several views thereof, 1 designatesa bar having a number of apertures 2 extending therethrou h, and 3weights or dumb-bells. The sai weights 3 Specification of LettersPatent.

are each provided with an aperture 4 through the center thereof andthrough which the bar 1 projects, and have hollow ends 5 each providedwith an aperture 6 leading thereto and a nut 7 to close said aperture insaid hollow ends. Said hollow ends 5 may be filled when desired toincrease the weight of the weights 3, and the contents may be removedtherefrom to de crease their weight. The said weights 3 are adjustablealong said bar 1 and are held to the adjusted position by the bolts 8passing through the apertures 2.

Thus it will be seen that should it be desired to use the exercisingdevice with the weights 3 at each end, the latter can be secured theretoas shown in Fig. 1, and

shouldit be desired to use same with the weights at one end, thesaid Weihts can be secured in osition as shown in ig. 5.

Having tiius described my invention, what I claim is:

An exercising device comprising a bar having a number of aperturestherethrough, a number of weights each having a central aperture throughwhich said bar projects and hollow ends each provided with a threadedaperture, a nut to fit each of said threaded apertures, and boltsprojecting through the apertures in said bar to hold the weights totheir adjusted osition.

In testimony whereof I a ix my signature.

ANTONE MATYSEK.
